I have a similar machine that i bought years ago. Excellent for cleaning extremely dirty carburetor parts and or jewelry. To keep my machine clean, the machine itself is filled with hot tap water then the heater is turned on. All parts that i am cleaning go into a zip lock freezer bag which then has dawn soap and hot water added into the freezer bag with whatever your cleaning and sealed. This is then put into thewater thats in the machine. This way the inside of your machine stays clean like new. Whether your cleaning really dirty greasy engine parts or fine jewelry. The plastic freezer bag does not impede or inhibit the ultrasound cleaning process. Just keeps the mess from the inside of your machine. Pro tip
I'm thinking of trying to seal the cracks then repolishing just for fun. Going to do an experiment with some different fillers to see what happens👍 thanks for the feedback, that's what I'll fall back on if the filler is a waste of time. 🙂
actually go back to stage three and sonic clean after it then run stage four and sonic clean after it as well. that should at least really reduce the cracks but if you don't want to do that just coat them in mineral oil and wipe them off.
Good advice, thanks! I am going to do an experiment with some fillers before tumbling a couple to see if I can avoid the cracks showing in the first place - no idea what will happen but interested to see if I can figure something out
Unfortunately my head won't fit in that machine so my mind will remain dirty 😂 I found a rock at the beach recently in a pile of boulders that are at the end where it turns into private property. The rest are just ordinary granite. This particular one is dark black with some thin white lines running through. It's a totally different texture from the granite, much smoother. I'm thinking it might be flint or something like that because it looks like it would make good stone tools. The rock isn't too big, I could bring it home but it would be hard to get it from the pile to my car. I bet it would be beautiful polished. It's not glassy looking like obsidian but it's black like that. I don't know much about rocks but that one got my attention. I grew up in Florida and this rock is next to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, and it's not like any rock I've ever seen. I spent 9 years in Central America and a few in NC too, and it's not like anything I recognize. It's odd because it sticks out from the rest of the rocks that are regular grey granite. I'd love to know what kind of stone it is. Edit, according to Google it actually could be a type of obsidian, or a couple other possibilities
@@comfortablynumb9342 haha that's ok, dirty minds are much more entertaining. 👍 Always fun to find a rock that makes you wonder. I'd love to see a picture of it if you get a chance sometime. Thanks for watching, hope you have a great day!

Wow that's really great advice, thanks! I'll definitely try it out. 😃👍👍
Part 2 of vid, rerun stage 4 and see if cracks refill.

Goodness, that intro is perfect. It speaks to my millennial soul.
@@Mefistophelez haha, glad you liked it. It was just going to be for one video but it turned out way too corny to waste it. 👍
